The 2024-25 NBA season kicks off with the Utah Jazz facing significant questions about their future. After a disappointing 31-51 record last season, the team is in a rebuilding phase, having traded stars like Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert.
With a mix of young talent and veterans, the Jazz must determine who among their recent draft picks can develop into future stars. The focus is on Lauri Markkanen, who remains a key player, while the team navigates a crowded Western Conference.
The best-case scenario involves a commitment to a youth movement, potentially leading to valuable draft picks. However, the risk of another mediocre season looms, raising concerns about the team's long-term direction.
